Hawaii 2020

[slg]

Crazy! But the First Iceland one went like this too and then lots of cabins booked up. Something will turn up.

Just saw a deluxe oceanview GTY for $5168 (2A) pop up for the 10 day and quickly put it in on a 3 day hold. Hopefully tomorrow brings better availability / options but if not at least we get on the ship. More than we wanted to spend but oh well.

This is great news. I agree on the pricing being high, but yesterday a midship cat 4A was around 9k for 2A so you are right in range for that OV.

A ship full of platinum and gold. Where will they put us all for the reception?

Getting Remy/Palo is going to be rough too, although at least there are multiple sea days.

Ok so how does a placeholder expire? If someone booked it but didnt put down the deposit??

exactly. you could hold the cabin for 72hrs without deposit. Concierge are only same day holds til 11:59pm without deposit.

I may be the only Silver in Board with my sad GTY reservation, lol.

unfortunately no Remy on the Wonder. But one can always dream!!

You're right about Palo. Even Gold will have a problem after viewing so little inventory yesterday when that window opened up. Seem to be a lot more Platinum cruisers on this sail. What a party.

Do the holds for Platinum expire by tomorrow or Friday? What time? I got a GTY Oceanview with two windows. I really want one window so I am hoping to be able to switch.

I see some available right now!

Thanks for the heads up! I need an Oceanview instead of a Verandah. I hope someone can get the Verandah that is up!

Interior, Ocean view and Balcony have popped up for the 10 night, all guarantees but it's something.

 

[ashleyacts]

Persistence pays off! I've been refreshing all morning and I was finally able to snag a guaranteed 5A!!!

A "placeholder" (i.e. you booked a placeholder ($250 deposit) for a future cruise while on a cruise) basically expires 24 months after booking - so if you don't book an actual cruise & apply your placeholder during that time, it will "expire" and your deposit will be refunded.

If you're talking about the "3 day courtesy holds" people are putting on these current cruise itineraries, then yes...they "expire" if you don't pay the deposit to firm-up the reservation within the 3 day time period.

If Silver is 10% or less of ship, just do the reception in the atrium and eat the cost of drinks for them.

Probably in the WD theater. :-(

 

[southerngirl528]

I logged at 7am and no inventory for either Hawaii itinerary

I booked inside at around 6:15 am. Only inside and concierge avail.

I agree with poison ivy's post below on this. Please keep checking and calling. The computer is NOT showing everything available. At least in my experience since Monday morning. Good luck!

Keep trying. There are a lot of placeholders that have a 72 hr. hold. Something should become available at that point.

Lots of GTY's for the 10 day going in and out of availability. Is staying in an OV on deck 1 terrible? Never been below deck 6 before.

 

[southerngirl528]

I just checked and I see the 9-day, but not the 10-day. When I click on the 9-day, I see a price for an Inside Stateroom, but when I select it, it says, "No staterooms available.

I had this happen to me as early as Monday afternoon. The website is wonky. I was using Safari and switched to Firefox. Same thing. Weird glitches. I even tried an incognito browser but for whatever reason that screen would not even open the DCL website! If I were you I would CALL.

Is that the island with Pearl Harbor? I definitely want to go there. I also want to go to the area where Jurassic Park was filmed lol.

Yes, Pearl Harbor is on Oahu. And the movie scene you want is at Kualoa Ranch on the windward side of Oahu. It is GORGEOUS over there as that is the rainy side of the island. Resorts in Hawaii are almost ALL on the leeward/dry side of the islands.

No. Decks 1 and 2 are very conveniently located on the Magic and Wonder and the OV is a bonus. Not terrible at all.

I have not stayed on Deck 1, but I've stayed on Deck 2 a few times and it was great. Biggest difference for you would be that you will have 2 small portholes as opposed to one large one I believe.

So just the 10nt seems to be posting GTY availability right now. Has anyone seen the 9nt show up again?
